Animal photoreceptors divide into two fundamental classes, ciliary and rhabdomeric. Jiang and colleagues demonstrate that this boundary is disregarded by the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells of mammals. These neurons draw from phototransduction mechanisms of both classes, enriching the signals that they produce to drive a diversity of visual functions.
